{Happy} Halloween Wreath Tutorial

I do — but I don’t really care for the gruesome, bloody side of Halloween decor. I like to keep my Halloween cute and lighthearted. I was trying to come up with a new Halloween Wreath and really wanted to make something with polka dots — you know how I love those. Plus some glitter — nothing says Halloween like glitter 🙂

I had a Dollar Store wreath form laying around, so I got out my stash of ribbon and started to experiement. And then I thought a big “31” would be a fun touch so I picked up a couple of numbers from my craft store.

Wrap ribbon around your wreath form. Secure with hot glue or Gorilla Glue using a pin until it dries.

Cut ribbon into 4.5 inch lengths. For a 12 inch wreath form I used 12 different coordinating ribbon into 12 pieces = 54 inches of ribbon in each pattern.

Fold each ribbon in half and sew each one closed. If you don’t have a sewing machine, you can hot glue each one closed.

After you have sewed all of the ribbons, they will be in a long strip. cut each ribbon apart so they are separate. Then at the bottom of the ribbon loop, under the stitching you can separate out the two pieces of ribbon and hot glue the ribbon onto your wreath form.

Glue the loops on in sections, making sure to use all of the different colored ribbons equally.

Paint the 1″ beads and let dry.

While the beads are drying, paint your numbers. Then spread a layer or decoupage glue {Mod Podge} on the numbers and then glittered them up. The people from PK Glitz sent me some beautiful glitter, so I used that. So pretty! And I have these really cool Painters Pyramids from Rockler that let you paint both sides of something without having to wait. It was great to get the glitter all the way to the bottom of the numbers.

Then I used Gorilla Glue to glue the beads onto the wreath. Let dry for a few hours.

Once the beads had dried on the top of the wreath, I figured out where I wanted the numbers on the wreath and traced around the bead so I would know where I wanted to number on the wreath. Then I flipped it over and spread a good layer of Gorilla Glue around the bead to secure the bead to the numbers. Let dry overnight.

The last thing to do is cut two 30 inch sections of coordinating ribbon and tie it at the top. Hang up your {Happy} Halloween Wreath!

This is so great! It’s my first wreath to make. My mom and sisters have been making wreaths but nothing like this! I’m struggling with the gorilla glue because it doesn’t dry as quickly as I had hoped. Also I stapled my ribbons instead of glue or sewing. I tried the glue but it wouldn’t hold. Years ago I swore off glue guns….looks like I’m going to have to purchase one today. Thanks so much for sharing!!

I was SO inspired by this wreath. I'm working on my version right now (and I've already run out of ribbon twice…oops!). This is such a fun project, and I can't wait to share my final product. As always, you are full of great ideas! 🙂

Seriously the best craft I have seen in a long time, though I my ribbon-lover heart may be biased.

I'm not really into Hallowe'en (though certainly appreciate your "cute" taste as opposed to the spookier ones) but I am SO going to make this for the Christmas season.

Every year I have to do a little (or huge) decorating project at Christmas and I'm always on the hunt for something not too complicated but tasteful. Throw in a craft that uses ribbon and I'm powerless to resist.

I can also see myself doing something similar for Fall and Spring. Ooo, I could be the "Ribbon House" of the neighbourhood.

Love this! I'm saving this link in my "craft ideas" folder in my email to use for other holidays, baby showers, etc. The possibilities are endless just by changing up the ribbon! Thanks so much for sharing!

I love it. Goodness, how many Halloween decorations do you make in a week. I just finally finished my subway art that I've been working on since last week. Inspired by you. Thanks for all your great ideas!

why must you always have great ideas that i have to add to my crafty to-do list? this is definitely on my list. i love it. my husband doesn't like halloween, but i can get away with cute stuff. thanks!

Seriously darling…so creative…I never would have thought to sew them in one long strip…probably because I don't sew (well – not really anyway)!! 🙂 I can see this done in SOOO many different colors/seasons!

I really love love this idea. I love that you don't have to just do a holiday themed one, but even one that suits your everyday house decor would be fabulous on the door… I am definitely going to try this one! Thanks for sharing!

[…] Time to move away from the more scary and gruesome side of Halloween to a more fun and celebratory mood. This bright and bubbly wreath gets that task accomplished by using what seems like a truckload of ribbons! It definitely stands out when place alongside the more gloomy wreath designs. And the big ‘31’ is a nice touch to go along as well; just in case someone like me forgets the date. [from: tatertots and jello] […]
